Shelbyville’s
track and field programs stepped off the bus Tuesday at Columbus East
and knew both the opponent and the weather conditions would be tough.
The
Olympians swept both the boys’ and girls’ meets in convincing fashion
although Shelbyville keeps finding positives in the season’s first two
weeks.
Shelbyville won two events and tied for first place in a third in its 95-37 loss to Columbus East.
Nolan Kaster won the discus event with a throw of 115 feet, seven inches. Patrick Ellis won the high jump clearing 6-0.
Cody Clark tied for first in the pole vault at 10 feet.
“Kaster
has stayed pretty consistent,” Shelbyville boys’ track coach Pat Parks
said. “I’m very happy with that. I hope he can keep that up.”
The Lady Olympians won the girls’ meet, 95-32.
The Lady Golden Bears won four events.

Smith took first in the long jump (15-8). Ashley Riley outran the field
in the 100-meter dash (13.7 seconds). Victoria Guardado was strongest
in the 400 (1:03). And Kaylee Moore was swiftest in the 200 (27.4).
